The Polling Report for September 19, 2018

Said pollster Peter Brown: “The Texas U.S. Senate race between Cruz and O’Rourke, and Democratic hopes for an upset win there, have boosted talk of a Senate takeover. These numbers may calm that talk.”

“Fully half of self-identified Republicans don’t believe Democrats are likely to win back the House. And within that group, 57% of people who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters don’t believe Democrats have a chance (37% believe they do).”

"This suggests that Mr. Trump’s other qualities, and his many controversies, may not allow him to reap significant political benefits from a strong economy." @vavreckhttps://t.co/jFEVrRaXE8
